The role of Europe in our daily lives
Here in Europe
What part does Europe play in our daily life?
If you want to know what European integration is about; what it means to you, to your day-to-day life – you can go to Brussels. You can also simply walk out onto the street, turn the corner and start exploring your own neighbourhood. That’s what we did. Right here in Heer, one of the many special, ‘ordinary’ neighbourhoods that Europe boasts. We learned a lot of things. And have a lot of things to tell. Learn about the (European) stories of Heer to understand Europe!
From digital study to local dialogues
Between April and September 2020, we studied the impact of the European Union on everyday life in the ‘Heer’ neighbourhood in Maastricht, ‘searching for’ Europe on the basis of three themes:
- Living together and securityin a borderless border region
- Green deal: the implications of a sustainable transition at a local level
- Open borders and flexible entrepreneurs along the border
You’ll find more information on these themes here.
